I wish to sign a simple contract for the adoption of my cat. Do you have a sample and does a contract protect the cat?

The purpose of an adoption contract is to ensure that both fosterer and adopter are fully aware of their responsibilities.

Disputes arising from the contract should be settled in mediation or in court. It is not under the purview of the police unless it is a case of cruelty and abuse.

Signing an adoption contract remains a good practice and an important step in building trust between the fosterer and adopter. A Sample Adoption Contract is available for use. Feel free to download, amend and use it.
